Scope and content This series comprises images of works by sculptors who were British by birth, foreign sculptors who worked in Britain or on British subjects. The sculptures featured date from c.1600 to c.1900. The images are organised by location or collection (rather than by artist or subject). For the following collections there is an almost complete record of sculpture at the location: · Royal Collections · Reform Club · Soane Museum · Southill · Woburn Abbey · Melbury. Coverage of other houses and locations is less comprehensive.

Acquisition information The collection has always been in the possession of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (or its predecessor institution, the Paul Mellon Foundation).

ArrangementThe archive has been arranged in its original order.

Conditions governing use The images in the Photographic Archive are derived from a variety of sources, so copyright in the collection is varied. The copyright status of each image is detailed at item level in the catalogue.

Accruals It is anticipated that new images may be added to the Centre’s Photographic Archive in future. These may be generated via the Centre’s everyday activities (such as the publishing programme). They may also come from external sources (such as donations by scholars or institutions).

Related material in Collected Archives The Collected Archives at the Paul Mellon Centre – particularly the Ellis Waterhouse, Frank Simpson, Oliver Millar and John Hayes collections – contain significant volumes of images of works by British Artists.
